Chapter 31: The Bloodstained Desert (4)

Under the encouragement of Shan Yu, the Huns were bent on avenging the revenge of digging the ancestral graves, all of which were sacrificing their lives and forgetting death, going forward and succeeding, charging bravely, like the tide of the sea, wave after wave. However, no matter how brave the Xiongnu were, it was difficult to shake the Qin army, and the crossbow arrows of the Qin army were shot like raindrops, and the Xiongnu suffered countless casualties, and they had been charging for a long time, but they did not rush to the front of the Qin army.

The Huns were about to fry, and there were many discussions, all of them were frightened and uneasy.

"The crossbow arrows of the Qin army are too ferocious, too ferocious, more than cow hair, much more!"

"I heard the old people say that in the battle between the Great Huns and Zhao Yong, the crossbow arrows of the Zhao army were very fierce, but they could brave the rain of arrows to rush to the front of the Zhao army and fight with the Zhao army. And the Qin army we encountered, the crossbow arrows were so fierce, no matter how we charged, we could never rush in front of the Qin army, we had to fight hard, how could we fight this battle? ”

"It's not that the warriors of the Great Huns are not brave, it's not that the warriors of the Great Huns are not good at fighting, it's really that our equipment is far from the Qin army, and it's too far behind."

"After nearly half a day, we have no less than 40,000 casualties, right? Well, definitely not less than forty thousand people. In the battle with Zhao Yong, the Great Huns only suffered more than 30,000 casualties a day, and we suffered more than 40,000 casualties in only half a day. ”

The more the Xiongnu talked, the more frightened they became, and they wanted to flee immediately.

As they said, it's not that the Xiongnu are not good at fighting, it's not that the Xiongnu are not brave, it's just that the crossbow arrows of the Qin army are too dense, dense like raindrops, even flies don't want to escape, let alone the Huns.

It took less than half a day to kill and wound more than 40,000 Huns. It's a daunting number. And so it goes. The Huns charged like this. Within six or seven days, they would be slaughtered by the Qin army, and they would not be able to do so if they were not afraid.

"Da Danyu, this battle can't be fought again, it must not be fought again. If we continue to fight like this, we have not dragged down the Qin army, and we have few more people. ”

"Yes, Da Danyu, we should withdraw."

"If you don't withdraw again. The Great Huns are also in danger. ”

The ministers were frightened, surrounded Shan Yu, and shouted nonsense, all of them were anxious and frightened.

Shan Yu was also frightened, but he had to endure his fright, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect the Qin army to be so good, and it would have killed so badly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true anyway." If you retreat now. It will inevitably be attacked by the Qin army, and our casualties will inevitably be heavy. It will invite catastrophe. Even if you want to withdraw, wait until the evening, and withdraw at night, not now. ”

The Xiongnu were no better than the Qin army, and there was no formation to speak of, and if they simply ordered a retreat, they would inevitably collapse immediately. In this way, the Xiongnu must flee for their lives, Shan Yu's order is difficult to execute, and if the Qin army kills from behind, it will inevitably be killed and wounded. Not to mention how many Qin troops can kill, it's just that the Huns trample on each other and the number of dead is an astonishing number.

"If we had adopted the prince's strategy earlier and used the order to restrain the Great Hun warriors, it would not be a problem to withdraw now." Shan Yu secretly regretted it in his heart.

If the Xiongnu had strict orders, then they could retreat while fighting at the moment, and they were really not afraid of being chased by the Qin army. The problem is that this can only be a good wish, and the Huns have no orders to speak of, let alone a position to take advantage of.

"Rather than let them trample on each other and die, it is better to let them die as they deserve and drag down the Qin army." When Shan Yu's mind turned, he already had an idea, and said: "Let the warriors rest and recuperate first, have a full meal, and then fight." At night, we took advantage of the Qin army's inattention and secretly fled. ”

The ministers also knew that if they were handled properly, it would be a disaster to flee now. Rather than die in vain, it is better to fight for a while first, which will always consume a lot of strength from the Qin army. When it comes to escaping at night, there is always something good.

The matter was thus decided, and at the sound of an order, the Huns began to rest, eat meat and drink wine, and regain their strength.

Qin Yiren looked at the mountains of corpses on the cloud car, and was very surprised, and said, "This must be more than 40,000, right?" ”

"At least forty thousand!" Huang Shigong smiled and said: "Although the Huns charge bravely and fearlessly, they are no different from sending them to death. ”

In front of the strong crossbow, Mo said that the poor leather armor of the Huns, even the iron armor of the Central Plains, could not resist, like a piece of paper. In the face of the overwhelming crossbow arrows of the Qin army, it was impossible to ask the Xiongnu not to suffer heavy casualties.

"With war rice!" Li Mu gave an order, and the Qin army sent a guard, and then began to use war rice.

In order to maintain the position, the Qin army's war meals were brought in turns, some of them were ready for battle, some were ready to support, and some were used for war meals. In this way, if the Xiongnu launched an attack, there was no chance.

Qin Yiren, Li Mu and Huang Shigong discussed while using the war meal.

"After only half a day's fighting, we achieved the result of killing and injuring more than 40,000 people, which is very remarkable. However, this is only the beginning, we must do our best to kill and wound the Xiongnu to reduce the difficulties for the next siege. Qin Yiren frowned, without the slightest joy, and said: "The Huns have more than 400,000 people who control the strings, although there are more than 40,000 dead and wounded, there are still more than 400,000, this matter is very tricky. ”

Although the siege strategy has been set a long time ago and preparations have been made, the pass is so big, if the Xiongnu cannot be severely damaged in advance, then the next siege will be very difficult, and this matter has to be considered.

"If the Huns escape, even if we cover up from behind, and the Huns will trample and die, we will still not be able to achieve our goal." Huang Shigong groaned: "I expected that the Huns would flee at night. ”

"That's right!" Qin Yiren and Li Mu nodded heavily, agreeing with this.

"With Shan Yuzhi's shrewdness, he will not fail to understand that if we order a retreat in the middle of the battle, it will inevitably lead to collapse, we only need to cover up from behind, and countless Huns will die due to trampling. The only way to reduce this loss is to get out of the battle first, and then take advantage of the cover of night to escape. Qin Yiren analyzed.

"That's right!" Qin Yiren's analysis is very reasonable, and Li Mu and Huangshi Gongda agree.

Don't talk about Shan Yu, even if Qin Yiren and Shan Yu change positions, he will also deal with it like this, and it is not difficult to guess.

"The Huns will inevitably flee, so when will the Huns flee?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought I was going to escape as soon as possible, the Huns would escape tonight." First, it took us only half a day to kill and wound more than 40,000 Huns, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the Huns. Second, we killed and wounded more than 40,000 Huns in only half a day, and if we had fought until dark today, the Huns would have suffered nearly 100,000 casualties. Killing and wounding 100,000 Huns in one day is too expensive, and Shan Yu never wants to continue fighting tomorrow. If the Huns don't attack tomorrow, it's our turn to attack. Our offense is as good as our defense, and the Huns will be difficult to resist, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties......"

"Yes, the Huns will flee tonight!" Qin Yiren and Huang Shigong said in unison.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, which is the same thing that the hero sees.

"General Li, what do you think should be done?" Qin Yiren rushed at Li Mudao.

"Childe, you have a bamboo in your chest, right?" Li Mu glanced at Qin Yiren and said with a smile: "The Huns will flee tonight, of course we won't give him a chance, we must cover up and kill from behind, so that the Huns trample on each other and kill countless people." That's how we ......."

Li Mu whispered for a while and said his thoughts.

"Haha!" Qin Yiren and Huang Shigong glanced at each other, and they were very happy, and let out a burst of laughter.

"Li Mu is worthy of being an unborn military genius, and he is really good!" Qin Yiren admired in his heart.

After a full meal of war, the Xiongnu, inspired by Shan Yu, launched a new attack on the Qin army.

In this attack, the Xiongnu made unprecedented progress, because the Xiongnu actually rushed to the front of the Qin army and had hand-to-hand combat with the Qin army.

"Rush! Rush! Rush! Seeing that the casualties of this charge were not too great, and the Huns were able to rush to the front of the Qin army, Shan Yu couldn't help but be very excited, waving his arms, shaking his fists, and roaring loudly.

Not only did he roar like thunder, but who among the ministers was not as good as him? They all waved their arms, shook their fists, shouted loudly, and the green tendons on their foreheads and necks burst out angrily, like old tree branches.

After fighting for a long time, paying the price of more than 40,000 casualties, some progress was finally made, which was great news for the Huns, everyone was happy, their morale was greatly boosted, their fighting spirit was high, and they charged like a whirlwind.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Qin army, the Xiongnu were very happy, and rushed towards the Qin army with a scimitar. However, they were greeted by a forest of halberds, and a Hun had to deal with several, dozen, dozen, or even dozens of halberds.

Although the Huns were brave and good at fighting, in the face of so many halberds, no matter how powerful the Huns were, they could only catch the blind, without any suspense, and were stabbed to death by the halberd.

These Huns who were stabbed to death by the halberd were not killed by the crossbow, and there were many transparent holes on their bodies, ranging from a few to a dozen, or even dozens of them, like a sieve.

The halberd array of the Qin army is an important part of the Qin army's array, one halberd may not have much lethality, and ten halberds are not much lethal, but once thousands of halberds form a halberd array, the power will be great, the gods will block and stab the gods, and the Buddha will block the Buddha, and nothing can resist it.

The Huns, who rushed to the front of the Qin army, were soon stabbed to death by the halberd, and there were many casualties. Only a small number of Huns saw that the situation was not right, and they turned their horses' heads in fear and wanted to flee. However, that can only be an illusion, the Huns' strong crossbows are wielding, and they have become a part of the corpse mountain.

In this round of charge, the Huns were completely annihilated, and there were no horses, which was even more tragic than in the morning.

"......" Shan Yu's mouth opened widely, like the mouth of a dead fish, and he couldn't close it for a long time, wanting to exclaim, but he didn't make a sound.

The Huns' charge was very good, fast and powerful, and the Huns were rampant in the desert with this move. However, when he encountered the Qin army, he didn't return a horse, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it if he was killed. (To be continued.) )
